Experience: Bloom n' Gardens: Installation Foreman

[May. 2010-Sept. 2010]

Owner Kate Wright 404-***-****

4011 Greentree Ct. Douglasville, GA 30135

I spent the last five months as the Installation Foreman of a

two man landscape crew. Working under Carl Martin, I expanded

my installation knowledge of walls, hardscapes, irrigation,

drainage, and grading. I got to experience firsthand how design

schematics transfer to the real world. I also improved my

already developing ability to manage people. This was

increasingly difficult with a crew that did not speak English,

but with my basic knowledge of the Spanish language I was able

to develop my crew into a routine that accomplished the many

difficult tasks we had to complete.

My Personal Gardener: Maintenance Foreman [Nov.

2009-May 2010]

Owner Andrew Watson 404-***-****

Davis Ln. Marietta, Ga. 30067

I spent more than six months as a Maintenance Foreman of a two

man crew. Working under Tim Rodriguez, I expanded my

horticultural knowledge, experience with high-end residential

landscape design solutions, and maintenance-oriented design

solutions. I was in charge of a two man crew that was well

established and I led them through the day to day operations

successfully under a strict time budget. Often interacting with

clientele to resolve growing challenges of an ever changing

landscape, I had to be able to think on my toes to offer

immediate resolution while establishing and explaining a long

term remediation process.

Max's Coal Oven Pizza: Pizza Chef [May 2009-

Nov. 2009]

Concentrics Restaurant Group

Marietta St. Atlanta, GA 30307

When I graduated from the University of Georgia, I took a job as

a pizza chef at arguably one of the best pizza restaurants in

the state of Georgia. I was there for over seven months while

looking for work in the landscape industry The staff was very

friendly and super understanding while I found my footing in a

new town.

Ed Castro Landscape: Summer Internship [May

2008-Aug. 2008]

Design Studio Manager Adam Huber 770-***-****

1125 Old Ellis Rd. Roswell, Ga.

Color rendered Ed Castro Landscape's design projects for

presentation to clients. I also scaled hand drawn concepts,

transferred concepts into AutoCAD utilizing the photo analysis,

and dimensions I documented during site takeoffs. Towards the

end of the internship, I assisted the sales staff on job leads.

I helped to pinpoint trouble areas in a client's property,

conceptualized multiple design possibilities, and ultimately

presented finished design drawings. These drawings included both

material possibilities, and specific planting arrangements.

Johnny's Pizza: Pizza Chef

[Oct 2007-May. 2009]

Owner Curtis Winstead

Athens, GA 30605.

Through College I learned how to throw pizza. I was often quick

to pick up shifts when others needed time off, and quickly

established myself as the go to cook for important events. This

enthusiasm led to a key holder position in which I would open

and close the restaurant. My responsibilities included

preparing the kitchen for the rest of the day, and closing the

cash register by balancing the drawer. Sadly this restaurant

went out of business due to a failing economy and an over-

competitive market in the Athens area.

Ippolito's: Busboy, Takeout, Server [August

2001-May. 2005]

Manager Mary Anne Zegers 770-***-****

Alpharetta, Ga 30022

My first job. I started as a busboy, and when I turned sixteen

became a takeout server. Within a year, I was the head of

takeout in charge of training new employees. When I turned

eighteen, I was able to acquire my permit to serve alcohol and

able to serve tables. I quickly learned that the key to success

was personable service with the ability to upsell customers. I

was very successful as a server, and continued in the restaurant

industry at several different restaurants (J. Christopher's, On

The Border, Abbott's Bar& Grill) often simultaneously.

Community: Hands on Athens: Fall 2007- Spring 2009

David Berle, 706-***-****/ Maureen O'Brien, (706) 542-

8972

Hands on Athens is a home and landscape remodeling program for

the third poorest county in the United States. I led a five

person group, comprised primarily of Horticulture majors, to

properly analyze nearly 20 home sites for both design potential,

and cost viability. I then ranked each property personally to

aide in deciding which homes received the gift of a new

landscape. The following semester, I and 15+ volunteers aided

in the installation of a new landscape design on five selected

properties. The next year, I volunteered for a weekend of

rehabilitating the homes not chosen for a new landscape. The

rehabilitation of the remaining homes often included, but was

not limited to pressure washing the home's exterior, painting

the siding, and repairing the asphalt roofing.

Volunteer Teaching: Eastside High School

Whitney Ward 404-***-****

I was invited by Ms. Ward, and Mrs. Bowers to guest speak to

their class of 25+ students about Landscape Architecture as an

art-based career. I spoke to the students about the rigors of

entering college, the joys of finishing a design project, and

the prospect of a flourishing career in an art-based field. At

the end of the "lecture," I showed the students some samples of

designs I had completed in school. I then helped each student

with design problems in their own "Dream Landscape." The

students were eager to learn, and a small group approached me

after class for a more detailed discussion of the Landscape

Architecture Program at the University of Georgia. The visit

was such a success; I was invited back for next year's session.

Northeast Georgia Food Bank: Fall 2004-Spring 2009

The Northeast Georgia Food bank serves a 14 county area with

over 65,000 individuals in need. I have participated in

everything from cleaning the warehouse to meet health code

regulations, to boxing groceries for families in need. Often

sorting food, I relished the days we were there to personally

distribute food to relieved families. I participated at this

venue on and off through my five years of school, and convinced

my younger brother to do the same. He is still active at the

facility.

About Me: Recreationally, I have hiked the Appalachian Trail since the

Spring of 2006. I am also an avid auto enthusiast, and

bicycler. I am constantly maintaining, tuning, and generally

tinkering with both modes of transportation. I got married in

July of 2010, and bought a home with my wife and two dogs in

East Lake, Atlanta.
